Re: Hoiberg: "Pieces starting to fall into place"

Worries me a little bit when he says he doesnt know what his role will be, referring to Grayer. I guess in my book he has a year to figure things out and make changes if need be. The next hire will be the most important and hopefully the most thought out.

Re: Hoiberg: "Pieces starting to fall into place"

I kind of read the Grayer thing as if Fred gets his top targets, maybe Grayer does a year or so as Assistant DBO and then moves into the regular assistant role. Whoever the lead assistant is will probably not stick around forever.

I, too was interested in TJ's contract. It's nice to see us really invest in an assistant for basketball. The really interesting part was that Pollard basically admitted that the reason they moved so fast was to keep TJ since Fred said he wanted to keep him. I wonder how things would have changed if Fred hadn't said anything about wanting to keep TJ or how long TJ would have stuck around without a new headcoach in place. I'm guessing with the offers that he had, he probably would have been gone by the weekend. I certainly would have, not knowing if the new coach would want to keep me.

Hoiberg sure seems to be saying a lot of the right things. He talks like a guy that knows what he is doing.

Re: Hoiberg: "Pieces starting to fall into place"

I will preface this by saying I have no prediction how this will turn out, I am excited to find out though and am really happy he is in charge.

Is it just me or does a sense of calm come over a person when Freddie talks? Seriously, it is like my heart rate goes down or something. Like he has everything under control and everything is going to turn out fine.

I remember thinking that when he played in high school and college, for such a young kid just seemed to be so calm, totally under control, not overwhelmed or nervous about anything. Could never tell from looking at him if they were up 10 or down 10 or if he was playing well or not playing well. Never seemed to get tired either.
